FAO’s RENEWED COMMITMENT TO A HUNGER FREE HORN OF AFRICA • The FAO is committed to supporting national and regional initiatives in the HoA by strengthening and intensifying collaboration and support to ongoing activities and priorities in the subregion. • It is a renewed commitment to a hunger-free HoA through enhanced partnerships, increased agricultural investment, support to scaling up of good agricultural practices and political commitment at the highest level. • FAO’s renewed commitment to the HoA is not a new programme or initiative, but a means to exploring opportunities to deliver better and more effective support to its partners, including governments, RECs, etc. In other words, it is a commitment to be a better partner. • The approach is based on a “country-led, subregionally coordinated and headquarters/Regional Office for Africa supported” approach. At regional and headquarter levels, task forces from all technical departments are working together to support the subregional and country offices.
Four Strategic Thrusts • FAO’s renewed commitment in the HoA consists of the following four strategic thrusts: • governments, peoples and development partners commit to a • hunger-free HoA; • (ii) policies and institutions support the realization of a hunger-free HoA; • (iii) increased investments in agriculture and food security promote prosperity and peace; • (iv) successful programmes and innovations are scaled up for rapid impact.
